1498 Cultivating the Law of Gold!

Xia Fan set the autopilot and left the pilot cabin. When he arrived at the residential cabin, he took a glance at Traveling Buddha. This guy was exhausted and was sound asleep in bed, hugging his precious teapot while thunderously snoring away.

Xia Fan left the cabin, locked the door, and headed down into the cargo hold. He set the door on “Do Not Disturb” and then took Pearl out, placing her on the floor.

Bright Pearl’s body glowed, and she turned into a little girl with snow-white skin and a delicate face. It was a pity that there was a hint of unruliness on her features.

“The only other person on the ship is my good friend Traveling Buddha. I’m going to the forbidden region this time at the request of Traveling Buddha’s older brother. Traveling Buddha isn’t an outsider, so even if he sees you, he wouldn’t do anything to you. But for safety’s sake, just endure a little longer and avoid showing yourself in front of Traveling Buddha,” Xia Fan said, stroking his chin.

“So annoying!” Bright Pearl’s face turned red as she pursed her lips. “Being carried around by you every day, disgusting!”

Xia Fan was startled. “What’s disgusting about it?”

“Your body odor is disgusting?”

Xia Fan was confused and sniffed himself. He said with a frown, “I just took a bath, so what odor?”

“It’s not that kind of odor. It’s a man’s scent! In any case, it’s not a good smell,” Pearl said unreasonably, folding her arms.

“I also have the Scent special ability, so how can there be a smell I don’t know about?” Xia Fan said to himself. He scratched his head and decided to stop arguing with Pearl. The girl was very unreasonable at times.

It was best to get down to business first. Xia Fan had brought Pearl over so that she could help him cultivate the Law of Gold. Although Pearl was just a little girl, she had a vast array of experiences.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the hold, Xia Fan adjusted his breathing and began to circulate the Law of Gold.

It wasn’t long before Xia Fan suddenly opened his eyes, his black eyes now emitting a faint golden light. Although it wasn’t an intense light, still far from Grandpa Blind’s golden eyes, it truly was the light of the Law of Gold!

There were many boxes in the hold, carrying combat resources, food, ammo, parts, and so on.

Xia Fan noticed that his vision was so clear that he could make out even the tiniest scratches and protrusions on the boxes. Of course, he still couldn’t see through the boxes to what was inside.

Xia Fan was shocked. He hurriedly left the hold, entered the corridor, and peered out into the stars.

In the distance was a barren planet, its surface pockmarked with craters and covered in ice, volcanoes at its poles. He could see all of it clearly, as if he was using an extremely powerful telescope!

Xia Fan returned to the hold and reported to Pearl, “Amazing! My vision is many times more powerful!”

Pearl pursed her lips. “Lucky guy, you really are a descendant of the Demon Sealing Fiendish Blade! You’ve only been learning the Law of Gold for a few days, but it’s already starting to show effects. You basically have the luck of your dad!”

Xia Fan was taken aback. “Are you praising me?”

Pearl placed a hand on her hip and said, “Idiot! Of course I’m praising you! Do you even know who your father is? He’s the strongest warrior I’ve ever seen! Do you think it’s a bad thing to be as lucky as your dad?

“It’s so strange. You Skywings seem to have some magic power to pick up anything you learn very quickly!

“But don’t be careless. In your clan, there are plenty of monsters like you. Your learning speed isn’t anywhere close to the top!”

What a sharp-tongued girl, Xia Fan commented to himself.

Encouraged by how much the Law of Gold had improved his vision, Xia Fan cultivated even more diligently, even forgoing sleep.

Pearl said that Xia Fan’s passion for study wasn’t like that of the other monsters of the Skywing Clan, only like his dad. That was because the vast majority of those monsters were infamous for slacking on their proper duties. The only truly diligent one was Xia Fan.

After seven days of travel, Traveling Buddha ran into the command deck to find Xia Fan, asking with a frown, “I say, why haven’t we reached the Deron Star Region yet? We should have arrived yesterday.”

Xia Fan had no choice but to tell Traveling Buddha the truth. He had Traveling Buddha sit down as he nervously rubbed his hands together.

“I’ll be honest; we’re not going to the Deron Star Region,” Xia Fan scratched his chin and sighed.

“We’re not going back to Deron? Then where are we going?” Traveling Buddha was a little baffled.

Xia Fan embarrassedly said, “We’re going to the Forbidden Region, because I have things to do there, so…”

Before Xia Fan could finish, Traveling Buddha stopped him and grumbled, “Not going back to Deron? You should have said so earlier! Then I wouldn’t have booked that suite at the hot springs and called over our brothers in the bureau to have a soak together! Fine, fine, I’ll go and cancel it now.”

Xia Fan was startled. “Is that it?”

“What else is there?”

“You aren’t going to ask me why we’re going to the Forbidden Region?”

“Is that necessary?” Traveling Buddha countered, not appearing to care. “We’ve already been through the Demon Chasm, so what else is there? In any case, I’ll just go wherever you go. Carry on with your business. I’m going back. I still haven’t had a drink of the tea I just brewed.

“This guy, you should have told me earlier. Ugh, so annoying…”

And then, Traveling Buddha left! He just turned and left!

Pearl crawled out of Xia Fan’s bosom and looked after Traveling Buddha. “A weirdo! Intruding into the Forbidden Region can land you in prison if you’re caught! But that guy was willing to follow you without even asking why…”

Emotion appeared in Xia Fan’s eyes as he said indifferently, “What do you understand? This is what it means to be brothers!”

…

Although the Black Egg was fast, the Outer Frontier and Forbidden Region were too far apart. They first had to cross more than half of the Outer Frontier and then through all of the Inner Territories.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 11th day of the voyage. Midway, Xia Fan stopped at a planet called Dunbath to resupply. While there, he bought a new battlesuit.

This new battlesuit was called the Phantom Mark 8, a new product fresh out of the factory. The price was ten times more expensive than the previous, at three million points. Xia Fan had received a billion points for killing War God Bode, so he felt nothing from spending that little amount of money.

The only thing that left Xia Fan unhappy was that he wanted to buy an even better battlesuit, but wasn’t able to. Traveling Buddha told Xia Fan that better battlesuits were personally ordered from master artisans. Xia Fan didn’t have the time, so he had to drop the idea.

The Black Egg was fast, and according to the navigation system, he would arrive at the edge of the Forbidden Region soon.

Xia Fan stood in the lower hold, his left hand holding a trititanium crowbar as thick as his arm. He raised his right arm, which was shining with a golden light from the elbow down. This light was even brighter than before, almost enveloping his entire forearm.

He chopped his right hand down like a blade at the end of the crowbar, and the extremely tough metal snapped.

Clack!

Clack!

Xia Fan kept chopping, and the crowbar became shorter and shorter, until it was only ten centimeters long. Xia Fan picked up the piece of metal and chopped it with his hand, slicing it in two.

Bright Pearl sat on the side. She had been happily eating from a bag of chocolate when she was left dumbfounded by Xia Fan using his hand to chop through the alloy, shock in her eyes.

Xia Fan squatted down and picked up the piece of the severed metal. The cut was so clean that it seemed to have been done by a laser. Weighing the metal in his hand, he looked back at Pearl and asked, “What do you think?”

After a momentary daze, Pearl swallowed and turned away, intentionally not looking at Xia Fan. Only then did she say, “Fiends! All of you Skywings are Fiends!”

Xia Fan was unmoved. In his view, Fiend was a rather glorious title. After all, the Skywings were a clan that was brimming with Fiendish energy.

Suddenly, a yellow light lit up in the hold. Xia Fan turned serious, put Pearl into his bosom, and headed toward the command deck. The yellow light was an indicator that they had arrived at the Forbidden Region!
